Thank you so much I am really feeling motivated towards GCSEs now instead of quite demoralised. For the scribble technique when you write down everything you remember the second time is that extra things that you missed last time or everything again? I hope this makes sense

Thank you so much for writing How to Ace Your Nat 5s. Due to the study tips in this book I managed to achieve 8 As at National 5 (all at band one)! This book also changed my perspective on exams and helped me to believe that if I worked hard, I could get good grades.

I would appreciate if you could give me any extra tips on preparing for Highers.

Hi,I read your book yesterday and I think it’s helped me understand how I can move forward with my studying,but I’ve only got 10 weeks left until my GCSE’s how would you organise my layers in the time I have?

It has taken me over a month just to get 3/4s of the way through one of my textbooks for GCSEs using the scribble method. In the book you estimated it should take around two weeks on page 36… What am I doing wrong? I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to finish all of my subjects if it has taken this long to get through 3/4s of the textbook.

Thanks for reading my book and well done for starting your layers. It sounds like you are falling into the classic trap of trying to remember the textbook word for word. This is impossible! When you are using the scribble technique, it should feel like you are explaining the information back to yourself.

I hope that helps.

Hi, I have recently started reading this book. It’s brilliant! I can relate so much to it and it has shown my a new pathway to follow and pointed to me exactly what I am doing wrong. However, one thing I’m really confused about is, can I use revision guides made by exam boards instead of textbook? This is particularly for french since with the actual textbook I am unable to do the scribble. What do I do?

Hi, I’m currently reading your book for the first time, I’ve just finished page 43. (It’s great so far.) Layering sounds like a great technique however I don’t think I could only study one for subject 2 weeks as I have end of unit tests regularly for all subjects and want to achieve my predicted grades in them to keep up my confidence for exams as it is something I’ve struggled with in the past. What would u suggest?I’m in year 11, my exams begin in may

Thanks for your question. With the scribble technique, you should try and remember and understand as much of the information as possible as you are reading each page. Then as you are scribbling, it should feel like you are explaining the content back to yourself. You should never try and remember everything word for word. If each page is taking longer than 15 mins, you are doing it wrong.
